In The Canyon

Fall is a beautiful time in Colorado, really almost everywhere I think. The weather is great, the colors are amazing, the days are warm. It's my favorite time to paint. This was painted in 11 Mile Canyon, about 1 1/2 hours west of Colorado Springs. The sun could only reach part of the scene which created a strong dark, contrasting background. Sometimes Mother Nature knows how to work her magic!

The holidays are almost upon us. For November and December I'm having a holiday studio sale. All of my paintings are 25% off with free shipping. Many of my paintings can be seen on my Daily Paintworks site, or scroll back through my blog. Email me about any paintings that you would like and I'll send you a Paypal button with the reduced price! Thank you!

About Me

I am an oil painter from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I retired in May 2008 after 28 years of teaching art and now have more time to pursue my passions of painting and traveling. My life has revolved around my love of art, starting with afternoon art classes while in kindergarten, a degree in art education, sharing my passion with hundreds of students yearly, and painting as often as I can. This journal is a combination of my daily paintings, my studio and plein-air work, my classes and workshops, and pieces from my travels past and present.

How To Purchase A Painting

Most of my paintings are for sale either by using a PayPal button or through the Daily PaintWorks Auction. If you are interested in a piece from my early days of blogging, before I used PayPal, please email me and I'll add a button just for you!

My husband and I love to travel. If you do not hear back from me pretty quickly after a purchase, we are on a trip to a location where we don't have immediate access to the internet. It is advised to not always announce on social media that you'll be away from your home for a long period of time, so often I talk about my trips and travels after the fact. Don't fret, I'll get back to you as soon as I can about the purchased painting.
